    Xiang Chong¡¯s voice was hoarse, but he still kept shouting.  The soldiers had already become red-eyed, and only his voice could command.  Seeing the soldiers under his command fall into a pool of blood one by one, Xiang Chong's heart was bleeding.

    Fu Shu on the mountain had already placed the food and grass, led a thousand soldiers in formation, and was ready to charge down at any time.

    " Seeing the robes being killed one by one, the Han soldiers on the mountain clenched their swords and guns, waiting for orders.

    The two commanders of Cao¡¯s cavalry, Cao Chun and Zhang Hu, felt more pain in their hearts than Xiang Chong.  The cavalry is their treasure!  The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry galloped across the north with few opponents.

    In their minds, the soldiers in the south should be very weak, especially in front of the cavalry.  The last time I went south, I chased Liu Bei from Xinye to Jiangxia.

    But they never imagined that today, these Han troops escorting grain and grass would cause them such heavy casualties.

    If this continues, even if they completely annihilate these Han troops, their own casualties will be very high.  The two looked at each other and shook their heads in pain.

    ¡°Send the order, blow the rally horn!¡± Cao Chun and Zhang Hu gave the order at the same time.

    The infantry retreated by ringing the gold, while the cavalry blew the trumpet, because the sound of the ringing gold could not be heard at all.

    "Woo~" The low horn sounded. Although it was not loud, it was very penetrating and could be heard clearly by the soldiers in the battle.

    Soon, the Hubao Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry all retreated and stood on both sides of Cao Chun and Zhang Hu.

    Cao Chun and Zhang Hu looked at Xiang Chong opposite, holding the knife in their hands tightly, their teeth "clucking" and they wanted to rush over immediately and cut him into pieces.  Because in just such a short period of time, the two teams of cavalry suffered casualties of nearly 300 cavalry!

    With a wave of the big gun in the favored general's hand, Fu Xu from the mountain immediately led a thousand soldiers to the foot of the mountain and formed a formation.  Then he ordered the soldiers who had just formed a formation to fight the cavalry to quickly treat the wounded and clear out the number.

    There are two thousand soldiers, but now there are only more than 1,200 capable soldiers left.

    If Cao Jun charges again, he probably won't be able to hold on for long.  However, the Hubao Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry just looked at them and did not rush over.

    "General, why don't they charge and kill?" Fu Wei asked, somewhat puzzled.

    "Cao's army doesn't have many cavalry, and they are unwilling to fight us!" Xiang Chong certainly understood what Cao Chun and Zhang Hu meant, but he was not optimistic at all. "If I guessed correctly, there is a large army behind them, and they are waiting.  !¡±

    "Then general, what should we do?"

    "I will use these thousand soldiers to confront them temporarily. You take the other soldiers up the mountain. When the time comes, we will stick to the mountain. If we can't hold on, we will burn all the food and grass!"

    "No!"

    Fu Wei immediately led the soldiers who had just participated in the battle up the mountain one by one. Those who were slightly injured also went up after treatment. Dozens of seriously injured ones were sent some more soldiers to come down and carry them up.  Because the Han army has regulations that injured soldiers cannot be abandoned at any time.

    Under the command of Fu Xu, the soldiers on the mountain occupied various favorable terrains. The crossbowmen put arrows on their strings and aimed them at the foot of the mountain.  Other soldiers brought some big rocks.

    After everything was ready, Fu Wei raised the flag and waved it.

    "The formation remains stable, retreat slowly!"

    Xiang Chong gave an order, and a thousand soldiers slowly retreated, but they still maintained their formation.

    Zhang Hu and Cao Chun wanted to lead their troops to rush over, but they had just suffered a loss from Founder and were really unwilling to risk the cavalry and the Han troops escorting grain and grass. Even if they exchanged one for three or four of the other party, they would not  He was willing, but could only watch as Xiang Chong retreated to the mountain.

    "There are cavalry!" Fu Wei, who was directing the soldiers to set up defenses, was startled because he heard the sound of horse hooves again.

    Soon, a large group of cavalry rushed over, with a total of seven or eight hundred people and thousands of horses.

    "Xiliang Cavalry! Cao Cao's three cavalry teams were all sent to Nanyang!" Xiang Chong was also surprised. Could it be that Cao Cao is going south again like the last time?

    But he immediately felt that it was impossible. Cao Cao lost hundreds of thousands of troops when he went south last time, and then he fought against Jiangdong. Now it would not be easy for him to gather 100,000 troops!

    After Zhang Xiu led 800 Xiliang cavalry here, he felt a little strange. He was about to ask questions, but suddenly found that among the soldiers who died in the front, more than 300 were Cao's cavalry, so he said nothing.

    "The Hubao Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry both only have 500. No one can bear the loss of more than 100 at once.".

    "When will General Xiahou's army arrive?" Zhang Hu asked.

    ¡°You can get here in half an hour!¡±

    "Half an hour?" Zhang Hu thought for a while and said to Cao Chun and Zhang Xiu, "Two generals, we don't need to wait here. They don't dare to go down the mountain. We proceed as planned!"

    "Okay!" Zhang Xiu sent a scout to deliver a message to Xiahou Yuan, and then he, Zhang Hu and Cao Chun led all the troops and horses quickly southward.

    In the Xinye City County Magistrate's Mansion, Pang Tong was sitting in the main seat, next to him were Liu Pan, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong.

    According to Liu Cong's order, Pang Tong brought five thousand troops to Xinye and took full charge of the war here.

    "Report¡ª¡ª" At this moment, a scout shouted and rushed in. He was covered in dust and out of breath. "Report to the military advisor that Cao's cavalry has arrived in Jiaxian and encountered General Xiang Chong!  "

    "Cao's cavalry has arrived in Jiaxian!" Pang Tong immediately opened the map, and Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Liu Pan also gathered around.

    "Military advisor, Cao Jun wants to rob food and grass and cut off the food road!" Liu Pan showed a worried expression on his face.  Although Xinye also belongs to Nanyang, it is a bit far away from Wancheng. The grain road is the lifeblood of Wancheng!

    "It's not that simple!" Pang Tong shook his head, "If the food road is cut off, he will never send only cavalry. Cao Cao's total cavalry is only two thousand. There are more than a dozen counties between Nanyang and Xinye, and the distance is hundreds of miles. Even if the cavalry is  No matter how powerful you are, you can easily become a lone warrior!"

    "What does the military advisor mean, are there other Cao troops near Jiaxian County?" Huang Zhong asked.

    "It's very possible, but the most urgent task now is to relieve Xiang Chong first!" Pang Tong immediately took out an arrow, "Zhao Yun, I order you to immediately lead all the cavalry under your command and rush to Lei County. If there are other Cao Cao troops, try to rescue them.  Xiang Chong, if Cao Cao only has cavalry, try to annihilate them!"

    "No!"

    Zhao Yun¡¯s face was full of excitement and he strode out.

    Since following Liu Bei, Zhao Yun has basically not been reused. Of course, this is related to Liu Bei's actual situation. There are few soldiers and horses, but there are many generals.  Zhao Yun is best at cavalry combat, but Liu Bei has no cavalry.

    After arriving under Liu Cong's command, he suddenly had three thousand cavalry. How could he not be happy?

    "Huang Zhong, I order you to lead five thousand troops and station them at Bowangpo!"

    "No!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
